The Dark Brotherhood is an Eamon adventure written by Pat Hurst.
Background
In correspondence with Huw Williams in 2022, Hurst said he focused on embedded artifacts when crafting the adventure: "My favorite was the plank puzzle," he recalled. "First, you had to find it. Second, you had to see beyond its use as a weapon. Finally, you had to realize that it must be dropped to use it as a bridge to the rest of the adventure."
The Dark Brotherhood is the last of Hurst's four published adventures.
Premise
Terrible earthquakes have been shaking Evenhold, toppling buildings, cracking the ground, and releasing the dead from their graves to attack the living. The town elders have worked diligently to understand the events, and after much study the high priest emerges from the temple to announce the cause: Phrax, the god of the underworld, has lost his legendary shroud and will continue to unleash his anger on Eamon until someone can find it and return it to him. As the priest concludes, the crowd begins to panic as an army of the dead approaches from the east.

Walkthrough
EAG president Tom Zuchowski wrote a walkthrough for The Dark Brotherhood that was published in the September 1996 issue of the Eamon Adventurer's Guild Newsletter. He gives some general hints at the beginning for those who want to solve the adventure without the walkthrough, then goes through step-by-step instructions for what he considers the most trouble-free route to recovering the shroud and returning it to Phrax.
